Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups dried cranberries (optional)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the brown sugar and dried cranberries (if using).

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.

Step 8

Using a knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash to give them a golden sheen.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Serve alongside warm fruit soup or enjoy on their own with butter or jam.
